We took the tour to Punta Tombo today to see the largest colony of Magellanic Penguins in all of South America. There are 250,000 burrows so as each family has two eggs each year, there are at least 1,000,000 penguins living there. In addition, as the juveniles all come back for 5 years until they are ready to take a mate and breed, the total number is really higher. The penguins are not afraid of humans and the babies are so curious that one kept pecking at the pants of a tourist today. They come to Patagonia in September, breed and incubate for 40 days and then it takes another 2 months for the babies to lose their feathers and get final sea water resistant feathers and be able to go to sea. They all leave between February and April each year and spend the winter at sea. They do not return until September. There are only 17 varieties of penguins in this part of the world and this breed travels from Antarctica to upper Brazil. There are many more penguins than humans living here in this part of Patagonia. This area has 10 people per square kilometer living here.
